i think we need Tokens for Shadowlands missions first, in my opinion they´re more related to your faction than the rubika missions, on rubika you can team with the other faction, but you still get the token after the mission...
in example you are omni and team with 3 clanners to make one rubika team mission, one of the clans takes the mission from the mission terminal, so in the mission there are mainly omni-tek employees (or monsters...), so you get a token for killing 90% of omni employees throughout the mission and this is how you prove you are a worth omni?
A little bit sarcastic huh?
On the other hand in Shadowlands, you can´t team up with the other faction, so why don´t we get tokens from that?
And of course we need more Ways to obtain tokens,
so far i´ve read the suggestion of attackable Faction Outposts... great, i love the idea, maybe in front of them there should be something like an "faction agent" in sneak (but he only has 1 concealment so everybody can see him *g*), when you talk with him you gain a mission for example exterminate 5 outpost clan guards, and you get some token for it.
The problem is, that nowadays you level up your char without making rubika missions anymore, so the token grind doesn´t belong anymore to your "everyday online life" of course you shouldn´t be able to obtain 2500 Tokens via normal leveling, but 1000 to 1500 is fair i think, so you need to obtain the rest via pvp (BS or PVP-mission), stupid grind (Rubika missions within the range of level 150 like most people do now) or pvm ( tokenweapons or the new outposts... daily missions?).
